Louisiana Man Jailed for Declaring January 2 "Kill Cops Day"

A Louisiana man was arrested on Wednesday after he allegedly posted to social media threats against police officers, declaring January 2 to be "kill cops day."

According to NOLA.com, 43-year-old Harlan Cyprian specifically named a long-time, high-ranking member of the Covington Police Department in his online declaration.

Officers went to Cyprian’s home to arrest him in connection with the Facebook post, and during the investigation police also identified him as the suspect who used a pickaxe to break windows at the courthouse, police said.

Cyprian was taken into custody Wednesday and charged with felony terrorizing, simple criminal damage to property and resisting an officer with force or violence.

Trooper Nic Cederberg with the Oregon State Police was awarded a National Public Safety Officer Medal of Valor on Wednesday during a White House ceremony hosted by President Donald Trump. The award is the highest national award for valor a public safety officer can receive.

The Torrington (CT) Police Department said on Facebook that a man wanted on warrants for failing to appear in court on charges that range from breach of peace to risk of injury to a child has made a deal with the agency if his wanted poster on Facebook gets 15,000 "likes."
